Overview

The SAP CPI Messages Input collects message processing data from SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI), enabling observability into integration flows (iFlows) across your landscape. This input connects to the SAP CPI Message Processing Logs (MPL) via the OData API, retrieving information about individual message executions, including their lifecycle, statuses, and associated metadata. This data is essential for monitoring interface health, identifying failed messages, and analyzing flow performance.

Data Collected

The following fields are typically collected from SAP CPI messages:

  • Message ID – Unique identifier for each message processed by CPI.

  • Integration Flow ID and Name – Identifies the iFlow that processed the message.

  • Sender & Receiver Components – Metadata about the source and destination of the message.

  • Start and End Time – Timestamps marking when message processing began and completed.

  • Processing Status – Indicates the outcome of the message (e.g., COMPLETED, FAILED, RETRY).

  • Log Level / Severity – The log level set for the message (e.g., ERROR, INFO).

  • Error Details – Captures error messages or stack traces if the message failed.

  • Tenant ID / System ID – Identifies the tenant or system where the message was processed.

  • Correlation ID – Used to trace messages across systems or multiple flows.

  • Custom Header Fields – Any user-defined headers or context-specific metadata.

  • Payload References (Optional) – Links to persisted message payloads or attachments, which can be resolved separately.
